I'm trying to remember the website that I've seen breeding info on...hmmm...I'll get back to you.
I know that they can breed at 18 months, but it typically takes them longer.
I also know that if you house outdoors breeding is a piece of cake, but indoors it is much more difficult.
My guys copulated like crazy last year (very interesting almost disturbing to watch--a little too human), my female made a nest of cypress mulch and soil, but never had eggs. Ron and Stella said that they were probably a little young, and sometimes it takes the female 3 years before she is really ready.
I would just use vermiculite and incubate in the 80s. As for housing together vs putting together, I'm not sure it matters.
I'll see what else I can find for you.
